Hi Mark, 

I have the same mouse and it works flawless with the following settings:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Mouse0"
  Driver      "mouse"
  Option      "Protocol" "auto"
  Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
  Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
  Option      "Buttons" "8"
  Option      "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7 8 9"
EndSection

I also want to point you to http://razertool.sourceforge.net/ - a very 
handy tool to change settings ;-)

HTH
Stefan

PS: This is with x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1 ...
